From a teacher in Europe: In October I led the Sophomore class to the Natzweiler-Struthof concentration camp in France. It was a moving experience for everyone. Some historical events, however, defy attempts at explanations by the history teacher. Even partial insights seem trite. You just tell the story, pray for those still affected, and listen to […]

From a teacher in Europe: In September I stepped into my own classroom full of students. It was like a slow motion scene from a movie with dramatic music playing in the background. It’s the point in the movie when you realize this is going to be a key part of the story. So, with […]

From a teacher in Asia: The long-time desire of my heart has been to work with orphans and needy children, so imagine my delight when I was invited to visit an orphanage near our city. Unfortunately, the day before I was to go the trip was cancelled. I was so disappointed. On further reflection, I realized I […]
